The Mexico national football team has played 35 games against UEFA teams since its World Cup debut in 1930 against France, with a record of 9 wins, 10 draws, and 16 losses. The team's first World Cup win came in Chile 1962, when it defeated Czechoslovakia 3-1. Later, the team achieved notable successes such as a 2-0 win over Belgium in Mexico 1986, a 2-1 win over Ireland in the United States 1994, a 3-1 win over Croatia in Brazil 2014, and a historic 1-0 win over Germany in Russia 2018. Over time, Europe has also been the scene of some of the most painful eliminations for the Tricolor. Germany eliminated Mexico in the quarterfinals of 1986 and again in the round of 16 of France 1998. More recently, the Netherlands came back in the last minutes to eliminate the team led by Miguel Herrera in Brazil 2014. The Tricolor's power has been demonstrated in games against European powers, with results that have been etched in the memory of the fans. Now, in the 2026 World Cup, the Tricolor will face a European team again when it meets the Czech Republic in its last group stage match. The Mexican team debuted in 1930, and since then it has grown in experience and skill. Withstanding the pressure of international games, the Tricolor has achieved important results in its history. With a team led by Miguel Herrera, Mexico is looking to add a new positive chapter to its World Cup history. The Tricolor has demonstrated its ability to compete against the best teams in the world, and now it's looking to do it again in the 2026 World Cup.
